The trailer, like the novel, spans a mind-boggling number of eras and scenarios, including a 19th-century ship off the coast of New Zealand run by a captain (Sturgess) with a deadly brain bug, an American investigative journalist (Berry) looking into a thriller-style nuclear conspiracy, a gangster-turned-novelist with manicured facial hair (Hanks!) throwing a literary reviewer off a building, and an ominous Kona warrior (Grant, sporting tribal facepaint).
